“The Tale of Tales” directed by Yuri Norstein, art by Francheska Yarbusova, 1979
I used to make a number of these animation gifs and always had trouble translating and finding the credits properly. So, I am happily stealing the proper artist attribution from the great blog @sovietpostcards, with thanks
If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn’t there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn’t anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn’t really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)
At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn’t help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.
Now our dad says that he’s actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that’s true, they’re very good boys.
we all knew about tumblr’s stance on palestine/israel, constant deletions of photos, posts, suppressing #palestine tags, but now they straight up deleted liza @komsomolka , one of the loudest voices for palestine’s liberation on tumblr… she gave me permission to post this:
fuck israel, fuck america, fuck tumblr, fuck the suppression of the oppressed voices!!!
from the river to the sea, palestine will be free 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
